Have newer growth showing a burn of copper color. Think nute burn plus ph off due to being out of town for couple days. RDWC, 30 gallons, 1 plant. EC 1678 PH jumped to 6.3, down to 5.9 Temps 84f day, 74f night. Humidity, varies but high up to 67% at times. Getting dehuey for tent, Lung room...

I don't have a chiller so I run sterile, don't really worry about rez Temps. 1 less headache, IMO, and cost to buy a chiller or build one compared to sterile is not worth the money for any gains that may or may not be observable. Again, my opinion. We all do it differently with great results...

Look up Sterile rez and chlorine. Pool Shock is your friend. There is a link around here often sited and is good. $2200 clear rez for.... Some will pipe up with the link. Hopefully Edit: pool shock for NaCl

I use a 800 with another as backup in my rdwc waterfall setup. I don't think I am full utilizing the full amount with my pipe reduction into the the waterfall/spray. No good way for me to test either. Frankly I over did it and bought bigger than I needed. I tend to do that on most things.

You currently using RO water? What is your nute strength and PH level? What are the ambient temp and relative humidity?

I would say 2-3 weeks more, and I wouldn't flush. Drying/curing is one of the more critical components of the entire process, spend some time researching and take in as much info as possible. Long and short of it though, most recommend to dry/cure at 60 degree F and 60% humidity.

I used to have a 4 tote design similar to yours. Biggest issue was getting to the back sites for any maintenance. Also 2 plants per tote can possibly create root issues if you ever have a problem with 1 plant and it needs to be pulled. I use 2" sch 40 pvc for return, and they can get root...

I will give it a go. That had crossed my mind, but how quickly after the shock they turned, I started thinking, which is never a good thing.

PH between 5.8 and 6.1 Nutes are Jack's 3,2,1 at 1/4 strength

Hi all. This is my first run using pool shock for a sterile res. Had everything going well, introduced my plant to my RDWC system, had it running well for about 1-2 wks. Added pool shock of .9 grams for 30 gallons, and within 3 days of adding the shock my plant took a dive. Before and after pics...

I've done nothing but dwc, rdwc, and fallponics. I am constantly on this forum trying to learn more, every single day. And if you mess something up you will know right away, and have to react quick. Lots of experience and help on this forum too. However once you do a few runs and dial in your...

Just looked, my ppm and ec meter is a cheap home forest, but my ph meter is Apera.

Lots of membera here use blulab meters. I have one I bought off Amazon for like $60, dont recall brand. Also with a LED i would get your temps up into the low 80's when the light is on. Well water can also be hit or miss, i had well and eventually got a ro water filter for my system. I am...

How big is your current humidifier in lung room? I had put mine in the tent before, and I was always chasing too low, too high, too hot. Something was always off. It worked, just wasn't optimal, always chasing.

I have a 400 watt board that can be daisy chained with others, but looking back I would go with bar style that can daisy chain for more even coverage. The board works great for my needs, but could be optimized better.

Is the meter you are using accurate and calibrated? That EC in bloom seems real low. I would try be at least 1.2 in Bloom. I don't use your nute regimen so can't say to use bloom only or a mix between the two. Gut says more bloom nutes. Actual wattage from wall is the light? Humidity and...

I was just joshing ya a bit. My way of having a bit of fun. Keep doing what your doing, love following your posts and updates on the new gear.

Agree with the manual switches for all connections that utilize secondary controllers like the ink bird.

With a 250 watt HPS and 200 watt LED, I would run both if you can fit in there. You get the Temps with the LED and the added lumens of both lights. Pushing 450 watts is pretty decent spread for a set-up. My LED is 400 in a 5x5 but I do not utilize the whole space for plants, so it suits me.

Ambient lung room temp I'd say about 60-63. I am in a 5 x 5 tent so it's small space to heat. Cost? 750 watts multiplied by current kilowatt hour would put me close $97 if ran 24/7. Thankfully it does not, maybe 50% of the time it is running while lights are on, and less lights off. I say it...
